Eight Senate Democrats crossed the floor on Sunday to vote in favor of cloture to a temporary allocation bill debate. The motion of cloture passed 60-40 after all Republican senators except for Rand Paul (R-KY).
The eight senators to cross the floor were Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen of Nevada, Dick Durbin of Illinois, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, 2016 Vice Presidential nominee Tim Kaine of Virgina, and Angus King, an independent Senator from Maine.
The bill will reopen the government until January and will fund SNAP benefits until September
